BOTH OF SAME PLACE.

GLOVE AND NOTION HOLDER.

PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,057, dated June 161885.

(No model.)

T0 (0 whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES H. FREANER and SIMON GoLDrxe, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Fredonia, in the county of Vilson andState of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Glove andNotion Holders, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings.

Our invention relates to a glove or notion holder.

Heretofore samples of goods-such as shirts, gloves, cards of buttons,&c.have been attached to the outside of the box to exhibit the same; butsuch attaching has been permanent, so that should a customer desire toclosely examine the goods it was necessary to remove them from the box,thus causing much trouble and delay, especially in cases where the goodswhich a customer wished to examine were at the bottom of a pile, and,moreover, by permanently attaching a sample to the outside of the box itwas rendered unsalable by becoming shop-worn.

Our invention has for its object to obviate these diliieulties byproviding a holder which may be readily attached to or detached from abox,to provide a holder which may belongitudinally adjusted to thelength of goods to be supported thereby, and further to provide aholderwith vertically-adjust-ablesupportingarms.

IVith these ends in view the invention con; sists in the improvedconstruction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, andpointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a box,showing myimproved clamp or holder applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a view of the holderdetached from a box, and Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the holder.

In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the figures, A represents ourimproved clamp or holder, which is constructed as follows:

B B represent two plates, the outer ends of which are turned inwardly toform passages a. The plate B is provided with alongitudinal slot, 1),running nearly its entire length,

Secured in the passages a at their lower ends 5 5 are clamping-arms G,the other ends of which extend upwardly and are bent downwardly uponthemselves, so that said ends are on a horizontal line, or nearly so,with the lower edge of the plates B B, and are bent to form loops 0. Theother ends of said arms extend a slight distance below the passages a,and are bent to form outwardly extending loops (1. The said arms G areheld in the passages a by the inturned ends of the plates B B bit-ing orbearing tightly against the same, thus prevent ing any vertical movementof said arms.

E represents the holder-arms, the upper ends of which are bent to formeyes f, which fit around the upwardly-extcnding portions of the arms 0.The other ends of the arms pass through the outward]yextending eyes orloops (1, and are then bent upwardly,as shown at 9, thus forming aspring holder-arm.

The above-described holder is applied to a box and used in the followingmanner: The plates B B are first adjusted to the length of the goods tobe exhibited, and the arms 0 engaged with one of the side walls of thebox, thus supporting the holder, the lower ends of the arms O bearingagainst the said wall 011 the inner side thereof. Theholder-arins maythen be adjusted to the height of the box that is, in cases where aseries or number of boxes are arranged one upon the other. Said armswill be held at any desired adjustment by the loop at the upper endthereof bearing against the outer side wall of the box.

The above-described device is adapted for holding a variety of articles,and may be adjusted in the manner described to fit boxes of varioussizes. Its construction is simple. It may be manufactured and suppliedat a slight cost, and it affords ready and convenient means for thepurposes for which it is intended.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a glove and notion holder, the combination, with a plate orplates, of verticallyadjustable holder-arms adapted to engage the sidewall of a box, and attaching-arms, as set forth.

2. In a glove or notion holder, the combination, with a plate or plates,of verticallyadjustable holder-arms, and attaching-arms secured to saidplate or plates, said arms being adapted to engage the side wall of abox, as set forth.

3. In a glove and notion holder, the combination, with a plate orplates, of verticallyadjustable spring holder-arms, and attachingarmsconnected with said plate or plates, said arms being adapted to engagethe side wall of a box, as set forth.

' 4. In a glove or notion holder, the combination, with a plate orplates, of verticallyadjustable spring holder-arms, and springattaching-arms connected with said plate or plates, as set forth.

5. In a glove or notion holder, the combination, with a plate or plates,of verticallyadjustable spring holder-arms, and spring attaching-armsrigidly connected with the said plate or plates, said holder-arms beingmounted on the attaching-arms, as set forth.

6. The combination, with a plate or plates, of attaching-arms connectedtherewith, said attaching-arms having loops at their lower ends, andholder-arms adapted to fit and slide in said loops, as set forth.

7. The combination, with a plate or plates, of attaching-arms connectedtherewith, loops formed at the lower ends of said arms, and having theirother ends bent downwardly and formed with loops, and holder-armsmounted to slide on said attaching-arms, as set forth.

8. The combination, with a plate or plates, of attaching-arms rigidlyconnected with said plate or plates, loops formed at the lower ends ofsaid arms, and holder-arms having their upper ends formed with loops,substantially as set forth.

9. The combination, with a plate or plates, of attaching-arms, rigidlysecured by the inturned ends of said plate or plates, loops at the endsof said arms, and holder-arms having loops, the loops on theattaching-arms inclosing the holder-arms, while the loops on theholder-arms inclose the attaching-arms, as set forth.

. 10. The combination, with longitudinallyadjustable plates, of springattaching-arms, and spring holder-arms, substantially as set forth.

11. The combination, with longitudinallyadjustable plates, ofattaching-arms and vertically-adjustable holder-arms, as set forth.

12. The combination, with longitudinallyadjustable plates, of springattaching-arms, and vertically-adj nstable spring holder-arms, as setforth.

13. The combination, with longitudinally adjustable plates, of springattaching-arms, formed with eyes at their lower ends, and holderarmsformed with eyes, said holderarms'being adjustable upon theattachingarms, as set forth.

14. The combination, with the attachingarm bent or doubled, asdescribed, and formed with an outwardly-extending loop at one of itsends, of a holder-arm bent or doubled and formed at one of its upperends with a loop, said holder-arm sliding upon the attachingarm, as setforth.

15. The herein-described glove and notion holder, consisting of thelongitudinally-adjust-able plates, the attaching-arms having the loops,as described, and bent in the manner described, and the holder-armshaving loops, as set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have heretoaffixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
